Cultural Canter in Senegal - - Kaira Looro International Architecture Competition
На конкурс принимаются идеи по созданию культурного центра в сенегальском городе Седхио. Он является одним из самых бедных в стране, и местные сообщества не имеют возможности распространять свою культуру. В связи с отсутствием музеев и архивов, традиции некоторых этносов живут только благодаря знаниям старших поколений, и со временем могут исчезнуть. Строительство здесь культурного центра позволило бы сохранять и изучать эти традиции. Помимо денежного приза победителя ждет стажировка в Kengo Kuma Associates в Токио.
пресс-релиз:
Hundred-years old cultures give birth to Communities, being transmitted through rhymes of those who are narrating it and interpretating tha past through wisdom. One's accomplishments result from rituals and metamorphosis, bonding the human being to its own roots through dance, history, music, colours, flavours, materials and landscapes.
Space and Matter relate themeselves with the power of rituals, drawing together the lines of an architecture encharged of passing and preserving History.
The intervention area represents a breeding ground of centuries-old cultures, rich in rituals and experiences coming from father to son, and telling stories about Africa. Cultures here are mixing together in harmony, within an environment full of experiences. Some of those ethnic groups are deeply rooted in history, and, since they never had any archives or written works, they passed those stories only thanks to words coming from the Elders.
Globalization effects are reflecting today on communities, putting ancient rituals and the preservation of cultural identities down the risk.
The town of Sedhiou, one amongst the less well fixed, has no places to let its own community spread its culture and habits, where to have the chance for everyone to relate and express themselves through arts those art the region is rich in. Here it comes the need to design a meeting place, promoting culture and witness of a location put in discussion during regional conflicts occurred between 1980 and 2005.
